En verano Peña Ubiña es bastante accesible, sólo hace falta salvar un desnivel cercano a 1200 m desde el pueblo de Torrebarrio.
En el primer plano podemos ver el sendero que baja de Peña Ubiña, y alcanza las praderías del collado del Ronzón, después de dejar atrás el inclinado y serpenteante sendero entre rocas que baja de la cumbre. Enfrente tenemos Ubiña La Pequeñas con 2197 m de altitud.

In summer Peña Ubiña is quite accessible, just need to save a slope close to 1200 m from the village of Torrebarrio.
In the foreground we can see the path down Ubiña Peña, and reaches the pastures of the hill of Ronzón, after leaving behind the steep and winding path through rocks coming down from the summit. Before us Ubiña The Small with 2197 m altitude.
Even in the middle of a desert, you can find a slight piece of Heaven. To bad the fish were rude though. I didn't even know fish HAD fingers, let alone a middle one. I didn't do anything either. Nope. Not a thing. I was totally innocent, minding my own business. I swear.
Fine, I stuck my toe in the water and my feet stank.

Esta semana otra vertical, parece que últimamente me encuentro a gusto con este formato, dicen que es más complicado distribuir elementos de esta manera , pero en mi opinión si son pocos y jugando con un primer plano y un fondo interesante se pueden conseguir perspectivas con una eficaz sensación de profundidad y además se consigue siempre centrar mucho más la atención sobre lo verdaderamente interesante de la escena. No escogí el formato yo, más bien creo que el formato últimamente me escoge a mí y luego me busco la vida para hacer lo que puedo con lo que tengo delante de la cámara...no se ,divagaciones mias.....
-Técnica: Para la escena de hoy ND 64 de B&W ,más inverso de dos pasos de Hi Tech mas Black Card, ésta la utilizé poniéndola perpendicular al eje del horizonte ( para estas ocasiones tengo una estrechita de unos 2 cm) intentando reservar el cielo sin tapar en exceso los farallones.Con este tipo de escenas en las que las nubes blancas reciben la luz cálida del atardecer hay que tener cuidado con la exposición, pues la representación del histograma en la pantalla de la cámara (un jpg que realiza la propia cámara), puede aparecer dentro de gráfica pero realmente cuando abres la imagen en el procesador de RAWs, en mi caso DPP, los rojos, si hacemos una selección por canales, suelen estar quemados en las luces altas, es por esto que mi recomendación es que intenteis tender a subexponer al menos un paso, ya que después será más fácil recuperar zonas algo oscuras en edición que salvar luces quemadas.
Los datos exif los podreis encontrar en la WEB.
-COMPOSICIÓN: La compo resultó fácil en un principio, buscaba una triangulación de elementos entre las roquitas del primer plano y los farallones, tras la primera toma mi sorpresa fue descubrir que las trasparencias del agua dejaban entrever algunas formas del fondo bastante interesantes, sólo tuve que reencuadrar y controlar la exposición.Las nubes en el cielo me echaron una mano aderezando el fondo.
-Edición: En el DPP de Canon ,balance de blancos, por canales bajar un punto la exposición de los rojos,curvas.En PS contraste por zonas.

At 142 metres, it was the world's tallest building from 1647 to 1874
64 sec exposure, using a ND1000. I wanted an even longer exposure, but I already had to set the lens to f/22. I forgot about ISO 50 though...

Out west in the desert, the climate is pretty harsh. Everything out here has to be tough to survive. Even the vegetables. I had to cut these guys with a hacksaw. A dirty, rusty one at that. Don't look at me that way, they insisted. Now if you don't mind, I'm gonna go have me a nice cold glass of milk. In a dirty glass of course.

Today, August 19 is World Photography Day
The invention of Photography was public announced on this day in 1839 in Paris
♫ When I gaze into the night sky and see the works of Your fingers
The moon and stars suspended in space, but what is man
That You are mindful of him?
You have given man
A crown of glory and honor
And have made him a little lower than the angels
You have put him in charge of all creation
The beasts of the field, The birds of the air, The fish of the sea
Oh, but what is man, Oh, what is man
That You are mindful of him?
O Lord, our God
The majesty and glory of Your Name, Transcends the earth
And fills the heavens
O Lord, our God, Little children praise Him perfectly
And so would we, And so would we
Alleluia, alleluia, The majesty and glory of Your Name
Alleluia, alleluia, The majesty and glory of Your Name
Alleluia! ♫

I know, it has been done before, but I hadn't done it yet. It was pretty slippery to get to that place. The way down was much easier and from a different slope - now I know how to get up there. This is my first picture on full frame from my own camera. A classic, taken with another classic.
The waterfall is 60 m high and the cliffs you can see marked the coastline once upon a distant time.

Somewhere on Fjallabaksvegur, road F208, between Eldgjá and Landmannalaugar I had one of the most beautiful and surprising views this summer.
The mountain is Illikambur. The river comes from Illagil, and possible names may be Illá og Illagilsá.
Probably snow on Hábarmur in the background, with Illihnukur to the left. Torfajökull is probably just behind these two.
Mange takk til bussjåføren vår som tipset om dette fantastiske stedet, og Sigurdur og Hilde som hele tiden sørget for riktig vær.
The Dublin hurling team look on, as a very happy Harry Boland smiles directly at the camera while Michael Collins shakes hands with a gentleman we thought was G.A.A. General Secretary Luke O'Toole. DannyM8 proved otherwise, and now thanks to guliolopez, we know this is Alderman James Nowlan (ex-GAA president and Sinn Féin rep of "Nowlan Park" fame).
Plus, great pen portrait of Alderman James Nowlan by his great grand nephew, davidnolanartist:
"Hi my name is David Nowlan, Alderman James Nowlan was my Great Grand Uncle. He was born in Monasterevin, as he is listed in the local church as baptised, Cowpasture, Monasterevin, Co. Kildare in 25.5.1862. His father Patrick Nowlan an early member of the IRB and friend of James Stephens, was a cooper from Kilkenny city and who more than likely moved to work at Cassidy's whiskey monasterevin. A member of the Gaelic League, he was a lifelong supporter of the Irish language revival movement and a supporter of Sinn Féin from its foundation in 1905. In 1898 he was elected an alderman of Kilkenny Corporation, and used his time in the position to help promote the GAA, which having been set up 14 years prior was a relatively new organisation at the time. In 1900 he became the first chairman of the Leinster Council of the GAA. He was elected President of the national GAA at the 1901 Congress held in September of that year. He would hold that position for twenty years making him the longest serving president. During his time in office he attempted to steer the organisation on a more republican path."
This photograph was taken on the day of the 1921 Leinster Hurling Final. Dublin beat Kilkenny, naturally, and the score was Dublin 4-4 : Kilkenny 1-5!
Date: Sunday, 11 September 1921

Historical city wall walk bathed in sunlight in Waiblingen
Waiblingen is a town in the southwest of Germany, located in the center of the densely populated Stuttgart Region, directly neighboring Stuttgart. It is the capital of the Rems-Murr district.
Waiblingen was first mentioned in Carolingian documents in 885 at the time of Charles the Fat. It received its town charter in 1250.
Waiblingen was property of the Salian kings, from whom the Hohenstaufen dukes and kings inherited it. It is assumed that the Italian name of the Hohenstaufen party, Ghibelline, is derived from "Waiblingen".
The town was almost completely destroyed in 1634 during the Thirty Years' War, and its citizens either killed or deported. It was rebuilt after the war; the existing old central part of the town dates back to the years between 1640 and 1700. Its fortifications are now well restored. (Wikipedia)

Though I've seen pictures of Crater Lake for many years, I had never seen it in person before today. You cannot believe the deep jewel tone of blue until you see it yourself ! The lake is one of the purest and clearest in the world. It is self-contained - no streams flow in or out of the caldera. It is fed entirely by the annual snowmelt by the 44 feet annual snowfall ! There are still a few patches of snow here and there around the rim.
It would be nice to be here when there are big puffy clouds in the sky, so we'll just have to come back again. The season here is very short - June through September. It is snowed in the rest of the year and they do not snow plow the rim drive.
This is a 7-image panorama covering just under 180 degrees.
I've heard from others that mosquitoes can be vicious here; but we saw only a few. They enjoyed snacking on my tender skin until I slathered it with Deet ! I think the skeeter problem diminishes after most of the snow is melted and there is no standing water.
If you have a moment, look at the largest size to see the astonishing amount of beautiful geological detail created 7,700 years ago by a violent volcano !
PANORAMA DAL CAMPANILE DI GIOTTO.
A fianco del Duomo si trova il Campanile di Giotto, uno dei campanili più belli d'Italia. Alto 84 metri e di forma squadrata, risplende di marmi bianchi, rossi e verdi. Raggiungendo la cima del campanile, dopo 414 scalini, si potrà ammirare da vicino la Cupola del Brunelleschi e osservare un bellissimo panorama della città.

"When the door opens, it must be a troll, which is in the frame. His house seems to fear that threatens from above misfortune. This does not seem far-fetched, because above it rumbles and rattles. ......" (Source Stuttgarter Zeitung).
The only article where I could find more about it, but unfortunately only in German.)
What do you think, what came first ... the houses or the railway bridge?

"Wenn sich die Tür auftut, muss es ein Troll sein, der im Rahmen steht. Sein Haus scheint zu fürchten, dass von oben Unheil droht. Das scheint nicht abwegig, denn oben rumpelt es und rattert. ...." (Quelle Stuttgarter Zeitung).
Es war der einzige Artikel, wo ich ein wenig mehr darüber finden konnte.
Aber .... was meint ihr, was war zuerst da ... die Häuser oder die Brücke?
Ich denke auch das Viadukt, mich irritierte der Satz „Es scheint, als stünden sie trotzig und wollten nicht weichen, weil schließlich sie sich zuerst hier niedergelassen haben."

Quedlinburg is a town located north of the Harz mountains, in the district of Harz in the west of Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. In 1994 the medieval court and the old town was set on the UNESCO world heritage list.
In the innermost parts of the town a wide selection of half-timbered buildings from at least five different centuries are to be found (including a 14th-century structure, one of Germany's oldest), while around the outer fringes of the old town there are wonderful examples of Jugendstil buildings, dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Quedlinburg is one of the best-preserved medieval and renaissance towns in Europe, having escaped major damage in World War II. (Wikipedia)

High Flight by John Gillespie Magee, Jr.
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds–and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of–wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there,
I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious, burning blue
I’ve topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

Here is the end of "Anywhere Is" first adventure. Fasten seatbelts, we are preparing to touch down.
The pano was not intended. Anything of what I have captured during those 45 minutes under dark Canary skies 2200 meters above sea level was not planned.
During the processing I have noticed that all three segments of Milky Way have some degree of overlap. So the it was tempting to try and stich them. I'm happy with this attempt. Obviously I need yet another panel to cover the area between Cygnus and Saggitarius.
Aquisition and processing: see here and here.
Pano stiching was made in Photoshop. I have used gradient visibility masks to avoid "magnetic catastrophes" :) in the areas affected by lens distortion.

Kilchurn Castle is a ruined 15th and 17th century structure on a rocky peninsula at the northeastern end of Loch Awe, in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Access to the Castle is sometimes restricted by higher-than-usual levels of water in the Loch, at which times the site effectively becomes a temporary island.
It was the ancestral home of the Campbells of Glen Orchy, who later became the Earls of Breadalbane also known as the Breadalbane family branch, of the Clan Campbell. The earliest construction on the castle was the towerhouse and Laich Hall
With storm clouds approaching from the west I was ready to give up on the nights plans for photographing the super full moon, but fortunately David Wang was already on the road when I called and so I decided to take my chances and meet him down by the river. It was a warm and balmy evening as the thickening clouds repeatedly hid then revealed the moon in interesting ways. In-between moon appearances we were entertained by geese and goslings, a beaver, along with a variety of boats and kayakers making their way along the river. It turned out to be a great night along the river. NB13403,05 - Happy Moonlight Mondays!

Rather nice panoramic view "up" O'Connell Street from the top of Nelson's Pillar. We think this was taken around 1950, but would love confirmation or suggestions to the contrary.
Very surprised when I zoomed in to see that the clock actually said Clery's Store - referred to by generations solely as Clery's!
Date: Circa 1957/1958 and no later than 1961/62 (thanks to DannyM8, Mr Tayto, Archiseek).

ESTAR VIVO
Es cierto que la vida da golpes fuertes.
Pero recuerdo siempre que cada nuevo amanecer es más bello que el anterior.
Y mientras espero ese maravilloso amanecer, existen las estrellas para iluminar mi noche.
Levanto la cabeza y sigo adelante, porque mañana brillará el sol de nuevo.
Y cada día trae consigo miles de oportunidades únicas.
Existen muchas razones para amar, soñar... mil razones para luchar y vivir.
Y siempre tengo presente, que cuando le sonrío al mundo, el mundo me sonríe a mí.

TO BE ALIVE
It is true that life gives strong impact.
But always I remember that every new day is more beautiful than the last.
And while I hope wonderful dawn... there are stars to light my night.
I raise my head and move on, because tomorrow the sun will shine again.
And every day brings thousands of unique opportunities.
There are a thousand reasons to love, to dream ... thousand reasons to fight and live.
And always I have present, that when I him smile at the world, the world smiles to me.
Enquanto o pintor Paul Gauguin e o compositor Cole Porter,
