I was reading a Photography book, last night and there was a quote; "If taking an epic shot, why not make it double epic with a reflection." I can't agree more.
A perfect reflection of Maligne Lake Boathouse in Jasper National Park and a collection of images in the different seasons, through my trips to the Canadian Rockies.
This is an enchanted place, no to be missed if you're in the area.
Happy weekend everyone!
As always, thanks for stopping by and looking, I appreciate your comments and visits.

Derborence is a hamlet in the municipality of Conthey, in the canton of Valais, in Switzerland. It is located at 1,450 metres in an isolated valley on the south side of the Bernese Alps and is not permanently inhabited. Derborence is completely surrounded by mountains: The Diablerets (highest) on the north, Haut de Cry on the south and Mont Gond on the east.
Lake Derborence was formed in 1749 after two landslides coming from the south wall of the Diablerets. Thousands of tons of rock came crashing down from a height of 1900 metres in 1714 and 1749, coming to 400 metres below and forming a 2 kilometre-long natural barrier which gradually filled with water. A virgin forest grew on the rock debris. It consists of spruce, pine, larch, stone pine, beech and willows. The area was acquired by Pro Natura in 1961 and is now protected.
The valley, which is exceptionnaly rich in fauna, is a natural habitat for ibex, chamois, deer, marmots and hares and several bird species including the owl, golden eagle, bearded vulture and alpine chough.

The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

Thank you all who wished me luck with my soon-to-come baby, and yes, it is a girl:) !
This is a railway crossing on the way to Meherabad in Maharashtra.
A thin straight line of the railway track runs through the vast open landscape. The narrow road runs alongside. It is a place which has a distinct character. It is the topography of the land or how the road loops to the crossing, it is hard to say. Or perhaps it has to do with the whole ambience of the nearby ashrama of Meher Baba which lends it an air of silent expectation.
There is no shuffling madness here that Ian Anderson wrote about nor are there any losers running headlong to their death but there is a Locomotive Breath..ing down alright. Organized religion has its pace and time and I hope it is on the decline.
LIsten to Jethro Tull singing that song
In the shuffling madness of the locomotive breath
runs the alltime loser headlong to his death.
Oh
he feels the piston scraping
steam breaking on his brow.
Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down. Oh
Oh.
He sees his children jumping off at stations one by one.
His woman and his best friend in bed and having fun.
Oh
he's crawling down the corridor on his hands and his knees.
Old Charlie stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down. Oh
Oh.
He hears the silence howling
catches angels as they fall
And the alltime winner has got him by the balls.
Oh
he picks up Gidean's Bible; open at page one.
I thank God he stole the handle
and the train
it won't stop going no way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
No way to slow down.
I have three flickr friends who are train spotters and lovers of the railways. This is also for them

Pray and Blessing for the Unknown boy[ though i am gonna catch him soon again]
Ayer subía para las siete y media a Gorbea con un amigo (Íñigo), con mi cuñado Iñaki, con el pastor Iñaki y sus respectivos perros. Allí en la cruz había 8 fotógrafos esperando a que amaneciera para sacar imágenes. Las 445 ovejas de Iñaki duermen en la cruz de Gorbea acompañados de un perro mastín. Llevan allí desde principios de junio y estarán hasta los primeros fríos. Cuando empiece a enfriar las mismas ovejas bajarán casi hasta Gopegui. Las vistas desde la cruz eran impresionantes: brumas en los valles, las cimas nítidas de los montes, sin nubes, la luna llena, al oeste, al otro extremo de donde salía el sol, un viento agradable. Una maravilla disfrutar de ese momento. Las lanas de las ovejas absorbían toda la luz del astro rey.
This little boy was adopted yesterday morning by my lovely friend Susan. I know for sure he's gonna get a great life. His new name is Max.

This is British Army Lance-Corporal Lewis James Thomas and his family leaving Cobh. The family presumably returned to England.
lukusnan told us:
"This is a picture of my Grandfather Lewis James Thomas with my gran, auntie Olive and uncle Richard, my mother is not in the photo as she was camera shy.
My grandfather died in Japanese prisoner war camp just before the end of the war."
On Monday, 11 July 1938, the Irish army took over from the last of the British Garrison at Spike Island in Cork Harbour. As the Irish Independent reported, it had been 17 years since the Truce of 1921 when the British flag was lowered on Spike Island, and Irish sentries mounted duty for the first time.
Date: Sunday, 10 July 1938

It's funny how things come together at times. It was the last morning of my vacation. I get my 4 a.m. wake up call from the roosters. I get up look out the window and it's pouring rain. I'm thinking to myself what a way to enjoy my last day on vacation. I get back into bed, and lie there for the next hour listening to the roosters just hoping and wishing for the rain to stop. 5 a.m. comes around and it's still raining. What should I do? Should I get up and go? Should I just stay in bed and go back to sleep? All these thoughts are going through my head. I'm making myself mental!
I decide to get up and go. I make my 15min drive to the location. It's still raining with no signs of any breaks. I get to the parking lot, look to the east. Rain......a lot of rain. I get back into the truck and sit for the next half an hour watching the rain contemplating if I should stay or leave. Wait.......I see a break on the horizon. The sky has a real faint glow, but it's at least a 15 min hike down to the beach. The trail down to the beach here is very steep. If it has been raining, forget about it. The trail is slick and muddy. There wouldn't be enough time to get down to the beach, so I decide to go with my plan B; shoot from the cliffs. I make my way slowly down the trail. I'm slipping and sliding all over the place. I get to the spot where I want to be at, I set up, and start shooting. The scene at this point is dark and moody with subtle light on the horizon. After a few frames the rain starts really coming down. I tried to stick it out in the rain for as long as I could but it was just too much. I pack my gear up in defeat. The conditions weren't in my favor this time around, but it's ok.......I've got great light at this location 4 days in row! ;-)
I make my way back up the trail, I take one last look at this killer view and all of a sudden I see this glow on the sea cliffs. The glow starts to get more intense, I can't say the curses that came out of my mouth, but I was swearing up a storm as I ran back down the trail slipping and sliding all over the place. The heart pounding heavy breathing intensity that was going through my body was crazy. The light started illuminating the shore line as if someone had slowly open the blinds in a room that was dark. When I was focusing in live view at x10 I could see the sunlight piercing through the rain! It was one of the most incredible scenes that I have seen. I would say this was a great way to start the morning.

I Sirfidi sono Ditteri come le mosche
la forma del loro corpo e' infatti molto simile a quella di una comune mosca domestica.
Molti credono che queste mosche (appartengono alla famiglia dei Ditteri ) a righe
gialle e nere siano vespe o api e per questo le evitano per paura del loro pungiglione velenoso.
In realtà i sirfidi sono innocui come le mosche, sprovvisti di alcuna arma di offesa o difesa,
la colorazione giallo nera che imita quella di molti imenotteri aculeati,ha il solo scopo
di ingannare i predatori (mimetismo), al fine di tener lontani i nemici.
Nella famiglia dei Sirfidi troviamo specie dalla forma molto varia, sottile e delicata,
oppure tozza e larga.
Veri acrobati, i sirfidi possono restare fermi in aria o volare all'indietro.
Gli adulti visitano i fiori e si nutrono di nettare e polline,
e sono utilissimi per la loro funzione di impollinatori
Another misty sunrise shot. I loved the blanket of fog enshrouding this rural scene, and the wonderfully long shadows. This should be the last of my sunbeams & fog session folks!
It is a very windy & chilly day in Chicago. 50 mph winds last night, so I will be stepping outside to see if there any leaves yet.
Happy Fence Friday Everyone!

God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
─Psalm 46: 1-3

في مثل هذا اليوم من كل عام تمر بنا ذكرى اليوم الوطني للمملكة العربية السعودية .
وهي ذكرى بالنسبة لنا تعني الأنطلاقة التاريخية الموفقه . على يد المؤسس المغفور له
أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز بن عبد الرحمن آل سعود .
تلك الأنطلاقة النموذجية . الفاعله .التي من خلالها تم إرساء قواعد البناء بشكل متميز
أدى الى تحقيق جميع التطلعات . حيث شهدت على ضوء ذلك . بلادنا الغالية منذ ذلك اليوم تقدما حضاريا
واسع النطاق على كافة المستويات والمجالات .
وأصبحت المملكة العربية السعودية في مصاف الدول المتقدمة . بل ومن أهم وأبرز دول العالم .
مواكبة للتقدم الحضاري حريصة على بناء الوطن والمواطن .
ذلك البناء . وذلك العطاء . وذلك الأهتمام لم يقتصر على النهضة الصناعية او العمرانية او الزراعية او التعليمية
فحسب بل هي نهضة شاملة . راقية . عادلة . وموفقه .بعون الله ثم بجهود وتوجيهات حكومتنا الرشيدة العادله
قبل 75 عاما توحدت أرجاء هذا الوطن المعطاء وهي عبارة عن صحراء قاحلة . موحشه . تفتقر مقومات التنمية
وامكانيات النهوض . ولكن التصور العميق . والنظرة الثاقبة . والكلمة الصادقة . والتوجهات العادلة . عانقت مؤسسها
منذ اللحظة الأولى . الأمر الذي ساهم بشكل كبير الى تفعيل الأفكار والخطط المرسومة .
فانطلقت قافلة الخير ولاسلام في أرض الخير والسلام تحت شعار( لاإله إلا الله محمد رسول الله ) تدفعها الجهود المخلصه
والنوايا السليمة والأراء المتظافرة . وقد أعطى المغفور له أن شاء الله تعالى الملك عبد العزيز جل أهتماماته
وأمكانياته لمايخدم تلك المسيرة التاريخية الناجحة .
وقد كان لأبناءه الأشاوس من بعده عظيم الأثر في أستمرارية البناء بالشكل الذي يلبي مطلب الوطن والمواطن على
حد سوى.
أسال الله عز وجل ان يديم علي بلادنا الطاهرة امنها ويجنبها شر الحاقدين
والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله
ماشاء الله

Doesn't Brisbane at night seem quite magical? Like it's not quite real? To me Brisbane is where it all starts, the possibilities are endless.
Brisbane River Festival 2011 at South Bank under a full moon. This is the Golden Casket Mirror Ball Light Sphere, it's pretty cool (but sadly only there for two weeks)!
"All the world's a stage" is the phrase that begins a monologue from William Shakespeare's As You Like It. It compares the world to a stage and life to a play, and catalogues the seven stages of a man's life, sometimes referred to as the seven ages of man: infant, schoolboy, lover, soldier, justice, pantaloon, and second childhood.
Il mio primo tentativo nel campo dell'astrofotografia: ritratta la Galassia di Andromeda con le altre due galassie ellittiche vicine, M32 e M110.
Cielo con molto inquinamento luminoso e galassia lontana dallo zenit: tra qualche settimana riproverò in condizioni più favorevoli.
Critiche, commenti e consigli graditissimi.

Piccola curiosità: la distanza che ci separa dalla Galassia di Andromeda è di circa 2 milioni e 400mila anni luce. Quindi la luce che ho catturato con una moderna macchina fotografica è partita da Andromeda quando l'uomo sulla Terra non esisteva ancora, ma erano presenti solo alcune colonie di ominidi nel cuore dell'Africa. ;)
... realised that I have not uploaded flower photographs for some time so here is one taken at Sarhan / Sarahan in Himachal Pradesh while coming back from Bheema Kali temple ; I remember it was drizzling , that's why you can see few droplets on the back of the flower.
Another shot from the recent holiday in Turkey. One for lightbox, really, if you want to bring out some interesting distant light trails as the taller yachts come into harbour. Göcek is a super place for long exposure shots of an evening, as it is full of boards, posts, walls and other improvised tripods. This was taken on just such a wall.
Much of Göcek is given over to yachts (in the discreetly named "Mega Yacht Super Marina"), but in middle of everything this quirkly little plank pier still stands to moor small local craft. Ten minutes after the last boat trip gets back in you see a little swarm of pancake, ice cream and similar vessels all dock here - having spent the day pursuing the tourist fleet like seagulls (with an inverted business model).
My favourite part of the image is the funny underwater sail suggested by the reflected lights to the left. It's not as pronounced as I'd hoped, yet I also like the way the blur of the boats diminishes as you move back in the frame. Hope everyone's having a great week!
303 second exposure.
