Mistycal Morning by Eric Wyllie

Ever have a morning when you shoot more good shots in ten minutes than you have shot in the past year?

This morning contained that ten minutes.

Ten minutes that I had before beginning the school bus run.

What a morning! The light mist made everything wonderful to my eye.

Úbeda, Jaén (Spain).

ENGLISH

Real Street, one of the main streets of the old town of Úbeda. Photo treated with Artizen HDR to clarify the heavy shadows.

***

Úbeda (IPA: ['uβeða]) is a town in the province of Jaén in Spain's autonomous community of Andalusia. It had about 36,000 inhabitants in 2003. It is best known for its association with the writer Antonio Muñoz Molina and the singer Joaquín Sabina. Despite opposition from the ICOMOS, UNESCO declared its Renaissance monuments a World Heritage Site in a cultural unity with Baeza in 2003.

The town lends its name to a common figure of speech in Spanish, andar por los cerros de Úbeda (literally 'to walk around the hills of Úbeda'), meaning 'to go off at a tangent'.

Etna Silhouette in Blue by Flavio Leone

20 44

L'eruzione più lunga a memoria storica è quella del luglio 1614 che durò ben dieci anni ed emise oltre un miliardo di metri cubi di lava coprendo 21 chilometri quadrati di superficie sul versante settentrionale del vulcano.

Le colate ebbero origine a quota 2550 e presentarono la caratteristica particolare di ingrottarsi ed emergere poi molto più a valle fino alla quota più bassa di 975 m.s.l.m. , al di sopra comunque dei centri abitati.

Lo svuotamento dei condotti di ingrottamento originò tutta una serie di grotte laviche oggi visitabili come la Grotta del Gelo e la Grotta dei Lamponi.

This attractive and peaceful village has a turbulent and violent history at the hands of various protagonists.

Thanks to _Rebekka and all the others who have tried this shot. I was trying to tie the technique in with a theme for a competition entitled 'Fall' (open to interpretation). The biblical 'Fall' of man from the Garden of Eden, and Newton's discovery of gravity. The photo is an attempt to interpret the conflict between religion and science, mmm.

The meped procession of the ngusabe celebration of Sukawati is a spectacle different from most other temple ceremonies in Bali for the participants, boys, girls, young ladies and women wear their classical fineries.

Dressed in heavily painted prada brocade strips wound tightly around their bodies, decked in heavy gold leaf and flower headresses (they really are heavy!) and adorned in their finest traditional jewelry, the girls are like dolls. They are however expected to walk the hot 3km asphalt route barefooted. They are as stoic as they appear here.

gelung rejang by Colloid Farl

My close friends in Bali took me to their village in Karengasem. Their neighbors just had a cremation and the day I came was the ngeroras ceremony. The celebration was replete with long processions and dramatic offerings, and performances involving the topeng (mask), the wayang (shadow puppet) and the rejang dewa. The latter is a dance by pre-pubescent girls in these lavishly tall homemade coconut leaf headresses called gelung rejang. Stretching from morning to midnight, the ceremony is a showcase of cultural purity. The village actually welcomed me fully and did not mind that there was one Filipino, albeit in Balinese attire, taking pictures as if there was no tomorrow.

or: "How to ruin a nice photo, by leaving the tip of the dragonfly's tail outside the frame"!

Drats! How did I miss this??? Unforgivable!!! The bad thing is that it's not a common species around here, it's only the second time I spotted one in 4 years (here is the other one) and I managed to make a mess of all my captures that day...

This is a Violet Dropwing (Trithemis annulata) male.
