Beginning of the trail on Anakena Beach and its 2 ahus.

 

I started the 15.5 km walk at 10:30 in the morning.

 

The hotel owner drove me to the beginning of my walk (Anakena Beach), for R$ 51,00 or US$ 16.08 and her nephew picked me up at the Ahu Te Peu at 3:30 pm for R$ 61.20 or US$ 19.30.

  

Anakena Beach is 16 km from Hanga Roa or the hotel.

 

I was able to do it in 5 hours.

Spring.

Have a nice day! Thanks to everyone for your visit, kind comments and faves! :-)

I think I may have over-cooked the post-production a little bit! There was more light pollution on this side of the mountain than previous Milky Way shot I posted. It resulted in more colour variation in the night sky and I’m not sure oranges and blues will be to everyone’s liking.

 

Location: Pico do Remal, Madeira.

 

Equipment: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 10-24mm @10mm, F3.5, ISO 3200, 30sec.

 

Post-production: (quite a) curve layers used, and masked, to adjust the local colour balance and emphasise the beauty of our galaxy. The details can all be found on Kenneth Brandon’s excellent video tutorial... www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOAmP7A_x6c

Winter storm and light before Christmas in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Waiting impatiently for spring and summer :)

Travel in summer - Phare de Pointe-au-Père Lighthouse. Rimouski, Québec, Canada #1

 

The lighthouse is 108 feet tall, which makes it the second tallest in eastern Canada. It is built in a characteristic shape, employing eight concrete buttresses to support a slender central cylinder.

 

It was replaced by an electronic lighthouse in 1975 and the site is now open for visitors as part of the Site historique maritime de la Pointe-au-Père.

This male Wood Duck and his twin were photographed in autumn at Mead Botanical Garden in Winter Park, Florida, USA. He was in his fresh fall plumage. I always enjoy seeing these colorful ducks. The reflection was a nice bonus.

Les Anneaux de Buren (nommés aussi Les Anneaux) sont une œuvre de Daniel Buren et Patrick Bouchain située sur le Quai des Antilles à Nantes (sur l'île de Nantes).

 

Le long de la Loire et du hangar à bananes, l'œuvre est composée de 18 anneaux de 4 mètres de diamètre et de couleur argent, fixés à la rambarde du quai, situés à égale distance, les uns derrière les autres. La nuit, les anneaux s'éclairent, alternant rouges, verts et bleus.

 

Les Anneaux ont été créés pour laisser place à l'interprétation du visiteur. Néanmoins Daniel Buren a souhaité inscrire son œuvre dans l'histoire de la ville et sa géographie. Ainsi, les cercles formés font référence aux anneaux qui enserraient et emprisonnaient les esclaves, en référence au commerce triangulaire dont Nantes a été la plaque tournante au XVIIIe siècle.

De même, ils évoquent des anneaux de mariage unissant le fleuve, la mer et la terre sur un espace à la croisée des éléments.

 

Les anneaux sont installés sur d'anciens bollards dont l'artiste a respecté le nombre, le rythme et la disposition. L'œuvre a été imaginée de manière à ce que sa vision nocturne soit totalement différente de sa vision diurne : en journée, les anneaux constitués d'acier galvanisé invitent le regard du visiteur à balayer tout le paysage environnant, tandis que la nuit des éclairages aux leds proposent des jeux colorés et lumineux dominants qui s’entrelacent et se fondent les uns dans les autres.

Buren's Rings (also called The Rings) is a work of Daniel Buren and Patrick Bouchain located on the Quai des Antilles in Nantes (island of Nantes).

 

Along the Loire and the bananas shed, the work consists of 18 rings, 4 meters diameter, silver colored, attached to the railing of the pier, located at equal distance, one behind the other. At night, the rings are illuminated red, green and blue alternating.

 

The Rings were created to allow interpretation for the visitor. Nevertheless Daniel Buren wanted to include his work in the history of the city and its geography. Thus, circles refer to the rings which enclosed and imprisoned slaves, with reference to the triangular trade. Nantes was the hub of this eighteenth century trade.

 

Similarly, they evoke wedding rings uniting the river, sea and land on a space at the intersection of the elements.

 

The rings are installed on old bollards which the artist has met the number, timing and layout. The work was conceived so that his night vision is completely different from its daytime vision. During the day, the rings made of galvanized steel invite the visitor's eye to sweep all the surrounding landscape, while the night lights LEDs offer the dominant bright, colorful games that intertwine and merge into each other.
