We visited the Ladies' Bathing Place at Portrush, Co. Antrim a while ago, but this "Bathing Place" seems to be for all inhabitants and visitors to Portrush.

Looks as if they're waiting for a Punch & Judy Show, or some form of children's entertainment from the chap in tights with the fiddle/violin?

Date: 1900??

Happy Mother's Day

Seen and photographed on an Osaka sanpo with Fukuda-san, hyossie-san, Kome, Maeda-san, Makio-san, Minoru-san, Mitsuru-san, nansya-san and Hitomi-san, Roger, Taizo-san, Teruhide-san, Toshi-san, Yoshi-san, and Yuki-san. Chuo-ku, Osaka, Japan. February 16, 2013.

A few of us came upon these Barred Owls grooming each other while we were doing a spring bird survey. It was fascinating to see how they were being so gentle with each other. I was hiding behind a tree so as not to disturb the birds.

The light was terrible and I don't use flash on owls, so I had to crank up the ISO and hope for the best. Handheld at 1/60 sec.

A picture taken the same evening as this one: www.flickr.com/photos/gautfro/8660328008/in/photostream/l... And as in the pano picture you can here see the auroras play over the Landegode island, Jupiter is bright on the left side, in the top right corner you can see comet Pan-STARRS and the M31 Andromeda galaxy. The flare in the top left corner might be a meteor or a iridum flare from a satellite. The picture is best seen in large on black background. All coments are appreciated.

Ontem aproveitando o Feriado do Dia do Trabalhador, estive com alguns amigos aqui do Flickr, juntamente com a minha prima Bia e alguns amigos dela, passando uma tarde muito agradavel com pessoas de primeiro escalão em fotografia e convivio na Praia de Itacoatiara e como sempre acontece quando saimos juntos para fotografar, a tarde não foi feita apenas de grandes imagens, mas grandes momentos de alegria e confraternizaçao.

* As fotos da segunda sequencia estão abertas, pois ja foram publicadas anterioremente, elas foram tiradas em outra ocasião.

Esas mosquitas son muy divertidas........siempre hay varias por esta época en cada flor de Arenaria montana y cuando notan que se acerca la cámara se esconden rapidamente bajo sus pétalos, asi que normalmente siempre que las fotografío aparecen como mucho dos.......pero esta vez se ve que las cogí despistadas.

To see the extraordinary panorama of Lake Garda, nothing is better than the hiking path from Campione to Prapione. A view on Mount Baldo - 2218m in the clouds with a spectacular panoramic terrace overlooking Lake Garda. Mountain hiking or trekking is an adventure and an experience that brings you in contact with the mountains and nature. Since some itineraries can be difficult for an amateur or untrained excursionist or mountain climber, caution is advised. Starting out from Campione, along the right banks of the Campione River, is trail nr. 267 of the Bassa via del Garda - Lower Garda Route with a series of steps that lead to a tunnel, make sure you have a flashlight with you and a communication trench between a canal and a deep ravine. Leaving the metal bridge to your right, you proceed along trail nr. 266 for Prabione, which is right up against the rocks. Gradually, the panorama opens on the valley. Due to the influence of Lake Garda's climate, the mountain is home to many different natural environments: from Mediterranean shrubs and bushes to Alpine pastures and rocky peaks. This is why Mount Baldo covered in clouds is called The Garden of Europe and is a genuine link between the Alps and the Mediterranean.

Lake Garda hiking is brilliant with so many spectacular places to go for a hike. The stunning mountains around the top part of the lake offers awesome views. Photo of the hiking path Prabione to Campione. Total difference in height round trip: 940 m - duration 4 hrs. See map.

Natuurlijk is het Gardameer uitermate geschikt voor watersport, maar ook lange wandelingen in de natuur. De keten van het Monte Baldo gebergte rondom het Gardameer is één van de belangrijkste van de Vooralpen. Beide hellingen van de Monte Baldo hierboven in de wolken aan Veronese zijde zijn verschillend. Het westelijke deel is kaal, stijl, vol spleten en met weinig mooie bossen. Het oostelijke deel is minder stijl en heeft langgerekte dalen met groene weiden en bossen. Vanaf de nabijgelegen dorpje Prapione heeft u een adembenemend uitzicht over het Gardameer. Je kan dit dorpje te voet bereiken vanaf Campione langs verschillende bergweggetjes. Langs de rechter oever van de rivier de Campione, is weg nr. 267 van de Bassa via del Garda - Lagere Garda route. De weg voert door het bos langs een muur via smalle, maar goed begaanbare treden naar een uit de rotsen geklopte tunnel zorg voor een zaklantaarn, bij een buizensysteem dat bij een waterkrachtcentrale die vroeger de katoenspinnerij van Campione verzorgde hoort. De bergen aan de linker- en de rechterzijde vormen een wilde, romantische kloof, waar-over na nog eens 20 minuten een brug voert. Na het verlaten van de metalen brug rechts van je, ga je verder langs parcour nr. 266 richting Prabione, die recht omhoog gaat tegen de rotsen. Geleidelijk aan opent het panorama van deze prachtige vallei vanwaar men een grandioos uitzicht heeft over het Gardameer en op Monte Baldo - 2218m. Je wandelt hier langs olijfbomen en kastanjes, langs steile afgronden of naar hoge bergtoppen. De natuur is afwisselend en het uitzicht is vaak adembenemend.

Manhattan is broken up into three distinctive areas - "Uptown", "Midtown" and "Downtown". This shot is mainly of Midtown and home to some iconic buildings, which include the Empire State Building (from which this is shot from), the Chrysler Building (to the right), Rockefeller Center (labeled), and Times Square (down and to the left). Geographically speaking, it's defined as south of 59th Street, East of the Hudson and West of the East River. The southern border is somewhere between 14th and 30th... so 22nd?

Midtown is has everything - working offices, hotels, apartment towers, retail establishments, tourists, residents, student, commuters... You name it and you've got a great slice of the population concentrated in this tiny area.

...

Povera patria! Schiacciata dagli abusi del potere

di gente infame, che non sa cos'è il pudore,

si credono potenti e gli va bene

quello che fanno e tutto gli appartiene.

Tra i governanti, quanti perfetti e inutili buffoni!

...

...

Si può sperare che il mondo torni a quote più normali

che possa contemplare il cielo e i fiori,

che non si parli più di dittature

se avremo ancora un po' da vivere...

...la primavera intanto tarda ad arrivare.

Povera Patria - Franco Battiato

Mi piace la gente che non guarda se l’erba del vicino è più verde, bensì cura con amore il proprio giardino.

Mi piace la gente che ogni giorno ringrazia il mondo d’avere il pane sulla tavola pensando non sia poi così scontato…

Mi piace la gente che prega per i propri affetti, ma anche per i propri nemici, affinché trovino la strada della luce.

Mi piace la gente che sa scrollarti di dosso la fatica con un sorriso…

E infine, mi piace la gente che non ha bisogno di troppe parole perché con gesto, mi sa riempire un silenzio.

Another closeup view on some skyscrapers of Frankfurt in the sunset. You can see the Fair Trade Tower, the Westend Tower and the Selmi Haus.

Have a great start into the week. I'll catch up to you guys tonight.

The term, graffiti, referred to the inscriptions, figure drawings, and such, found on the walls of ancient sepulchers or ruins, as in the Catacombs of Rome or at Pompeii. Use of the word has evolved to include any graphics applied to surfaces in a manner that constitutes vandalism.

The only known source of the Safaitic language, a form of proto-Arabic, is from graffiti: inscriptions scratched on to the surface of rocks and boulders in the predominantly basalt desert of southern Syria, eastern Jordan and northern Saudi Arabia. Safaitic dates from the first century BC to the fourth century AD.

.... this was possible today. After a long time filled with grey and cold days we had about 6 hours sunshine today. Although it was not so warm but the feeling of Spring was there during my walk this afternoon. I am looking forward to see such wonderful blooming scenes like in the photo above.

Large View (L) recommended.

This photo is taken at Búðir on the mythological peninsula of Snæfellsnes. Already during the middle ages the magnificent glacier and volcano, which is situated on the peninsula's outmost post, was well-known on the European continent.

It was the scene for Jules Verne's famous science fiction, "Journey to the Centre of the Earth" - the only one of his literary works that was too futuristique to ever come true :-).

Buzz lightyear, The Moon, Jupiter and ISS (International Space Station)! I posted this picture onto Col. Chris Hadfield's ( Commander of the International Space Station) Facebook page and he responded :-) It's not everyday you get someone on a space station commenting on one of your photos from earth orbit!

This shot took a bit of organizing, calculation, preperation and luck! Firstly I knew when and where the ISS would be visible so I had to set up a large Rock and place Buzz on it and then I had to get the low POV right so as the composition was just right with the Moon, Jupiter, Buzz and of course the ISS. Then the task of how much focus to use on Buss and the background, as he was the "Star", pardon the pun, of the show I weighted it more on him. I had to practice the exposure times and ISO settings to get that right and then the light painting of the forground to make sure I wasn't over exposing it.

Just as it was about to all came together, some cloud slowly appeared creeping in, ready to ruin the shot! The ISS was right on time though, I activated the shutter, took two steps to the left and using my head lamp, light painted the foreground for a count of 2 seconds approx. With nervously excitement I turned away and waited for the shutter to close. I had my shot!

30 seconds later the clouds did indeed roll in, luck was on my side!!

it rains too much.

Station du Champ du Feu (Alsace, France)

Lumaha'i Beach is located on Kauai’s northern shore, but do not let the picturesque views fool you. It is a beach best viewed from a distance rather than swimming. The beach has no protective reef, making the coast totally exposed to the open ocean. Nicknamed "Luma-die" by the locals, the slippery rock ledges, powerful waves, strong undertow and currents make this one of Kauai’s most dangerous beaches. I played it safe and went to the beach with my camera and left the swimming trunks behind.

Was there every a time you felt endangered while photographing?

Happy Travels!

This is a close up of the Honda 750 Shadow

I actually wanted to upload another shot of the huge miners lamp from my last upload, but the weather was great last night to get out and play with some light painting. I was inspired by some shots of Vicki Tate who gave me some advice how to do shots like this. I think for my first try the result is not that bad :)

Have a wonderful weekend every one!

This weekend I had the pleasure of catching up with Paul C Stokes, Martin Turner and The Green Album for some photography. First off we started off shooting in Bristol but after an hour or so we made it over to Weston-Super-Mare to catch a sunset. There were some very nice looking clouds in the sky and I was really looking forward to grabbing a rare sunset picture to add to my collection; unfortunately it was low tide so there wasn’t the opportunity to get a perfect reflection of the pier but I decided to try and see what the wet sand would offer.

Many thanks very much guys for driving me around!!!

I’ve got a few more pictures to go through but after a long journey home, the travelling has finally caught up with me, so I’ll have to take a look at these later in the week.

Have a great evening all and I’ll catch up with you guys tomorrow :-)

Here’s an image of the city of my residence when it’s not flirting with the fog! ;o)

This was also the very last photo I took in 2012 on a very early and cold December morning. Looking back at my Seattle inventory alone, I took roughly 3,700 photos in 2012, almost exactly 100 less than the year before.

It’s odd.

For some reason, I feel this number is extremely low. (Note: My point may have been misunderstood by some -- I find the number 3,700 low for one year, not the difference of 100 images between 2011 and 2012). When I travel to a different city for my portfolio, I can take as many as 4,000 photos in much less than a week. Perhaps, it’s because Seattle is “home”, so I’m never in a rush compared to New York or San Francisco or Alaska where limited time is of the essence. I sleep a lot less when I’m on a photographic mission. It’s terrific!

Wishing you all a fabulous and enjoyable weekend in your relative locations around the planet!

Quick candid shot of a Venetian local enjoying his Sunday paper in a strong winter sun, with fashionably attired dogs in attendance.

Hope everyone is having a fantastic week!

Digging through my archives, I found this image. This was shot in Subic Bay, Olongapo City, Philippines and this location used to be the biggest overseas US Naval Base until its closure in 1991. There are more interesting spots to shoot in this location and I know I will be back. However, the question is when?

Have a nice Wednesday to all! :)

I saw two of these white morph Reddish Egrets while helping to lead an Audubon birding trip at Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. The white morph is much less common than the dark morph and I was happy to see one this close. The bill turns this beautiful two-tone color during breeding season and is mostly dark the rest of the year.
